Customer ServiceFor stakeholders that need to forecast solar yield and asset value, observations from recent years provide new information on the risks to solar projects. First, some locations will be more impacted by smoke than others. Intuitively, proximity to wildfire fuel increases risk.
Though the solar industry outlook is positive, it must face certain challenges in the near future. One major concern is efficiency — solar panels only convert a small percentage of the available solar power into usable energy. Solar’s reliability is also an issue, especially in certain geographic regions.
One major environmental concern is the space solar panels require. Large-scale solar power operations take up a great deal of land, allowing nothing else to share the space. This can result in habitat loss for both plant and animal species, which is a major source of wild species extinction. It can also limit agricultural development.
Building on flood plains for example could mean that the solar farm is at risk of flooding or water damage. Building near archaeological sites also presents risks which would be reflected in higher insurance premiums. 5.
The solar industry is poised for growth. Solar energy is one of the most viable alternative energy sources, with its unlimited abundance and potential. During the next decade or so, experts anticipate more widespread solar development and employment. The industry has already reached record numbers.
